A perfect second day for Frank and Natalie. Frank started with an unlucky streak fishing river 3 beat b2. Frank lost his first 6 while Natalie landed 2 of her first 3 which included this nice 4 – 5 lb brownie. Natalie nearly landed an 8 lb brown which got off at the net and then got blown away by a 7 lb (approximately] rainbow – though Frank thought it looked bigger than her big brown. Frank managed to land 4 for the day out of 13 he hooked and Natalie managed to land 2 out of 7. The average size was around 4 lbs and several fish got off unseen. The conditions were perfect. The fish took anything ranging from Hare & Coppers to pheasant tails to stoneflys.
